	abstract = {Common-image gathers (CIGs) are pivotal in migration-velocity analysis (MVA). However, MVA is often hindered by the computational burden of traditional migration methods. To bypass these limitations, we introduce a neural-surrogate learning approach that utilizes Fourier Neural Operators (FNOs, Li et al. 2020) to accelerate MVA. Following the velocity-continuation scheme of Siahkoohi, Louboutin, and Herrmann (2022), we train a survey-specific FNO to map the CIGs associated with one migration-velocity model to another without remigration. This methodology leverages the capacity of FNOs to approximate complex PDE-based mappings, rendering computational cost at inference negligible, thereby expediting MVA. By enabling rapid generation and evaluation of CIGs across various velocity models, it offers a pathway to quickly examine velocity models according to preferred properties and to quantify uncertainties in imaged reflectivities at the same time. Additionally, this methodology paves the way for inverse design optimization, updating velocity models to produce CIGs with desirable characteristics.},

	abstract = {Velocity continuation aims to map the migration image using one background model to the image using another background model. It is of great importance to quantify the uncertainty in seismic imaging result from various background models. With Fourier neural operators as a learned surrogate, this continuation from a given background model to an unseen background model can be quite accurately estimated with near-zero cost. However, the limitation of the prior art is that the input background model and the survey area are assumed to be fixed. The main contribution of this work is to extend the Fourier neural operator surrogate to be amortized over different given background models and survey areas. We verify the effectiveness of our learned surrogates by a realistic example on different areas of Parihaka dataset against different background models.},
